Additional finding: Secondary firmware bug — boot sequence crash on cold boot (MEPC: 0x00000006)
While investigating the sta.scan() crash, I discovered a second distinct firmware bug affecting the Tab5 in UIFlow2 v2.4.4.
Description:
On every cold boot, the device crashes during UIFlow2's initialization sequence before any user code runs. The device automatically reboots and boots successfully on the second attempt.
Crash signature:
Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (Instruction access fault). Exception was unhandled.
MEPC : 0x00000006
MCAUSE : 0x00000001
MTVAL : 0x00000006
Key observation:
The stack contains 0x7474696c (ASCII: "litt") pointing to a crash inside UIFlow2's LittlevGL/LVGL initialization sequence — not in user code.
Reproducibility:
100% reproducible on cold boot
Device always self-recovers on automatic reboot
Completely independent of user code — happens before any user application starts
This is a separate bug from issue #94 (sta.scan() at MEPC: 0x4ff13582). Both bugs share the same root environment (UIFlow2 v2.4.4 on Tab5) but occur at different stages and involve different subsystems.
